I don't teach the roll like many instructors. The roll I teach is called the C to C roll.
I am a solid Class III paddler but, with our drought and low CFS, am so out of shape would be a fool to attempt it now. I prefer Class II or less these days. We will probably make a trip your way in 2009 as I'm researching some of my Georgia ancestors in Gwinette Co. and would like to visit NC again. Maybe we can have a nice easy paddle together!
Yikes! What a story. You are a trooper. That would have ended my vacation. I don't make a very good canoe partner because I like to be in control of my boat and I don't like looking over somebody's shoulder. There is a joke about canoeing being the fastest way to a divorce. The kayak has much more stability because your butt, and center of gravity, is below water level, and having a two bladed paddle gives more balance.
